@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00017712, author = {Sonoda, Akiko}, journal = {Journal of the School of Letters}, month = {Mar}, note = {Henry Carey’s Letters on International Copyright was an influential pamphlet which opposed the establishment of the international copyright treaty in the United States. This work was published twice in 1853 and 1868, when there were substantial movements towards an Anglo-American copyright treaty. As a protectionist, Carey argued against extending copyright privileges to foreigners, pointing to several unfavorable effects which would result from the international copyright treaty between the US and the UK. His strong opposition to the treaty seems odd when we recall the fact that he was once a proprietor of a leading publishing firm in Philadelphia, one of the first American publishers to pay for the advance sheets of works by English authors such as Walter Scott and Charles Dickens. This paper aims to grasp the reasons for this change. According to Carey, international copyright would be injurious to American publishing business, which had plural centers and thus retaining its vitality.}, pages = {13--19}, title = {Henry C.
